Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Moss_Talbot-1

When Catherine/Katherine (I've seen both spellings) married William Talbot, she was a widow. Moss is given as his surname; some believe him to have been William Moss. It is unknown if they had any children. William Talbot was involved in settling the estate of William Moss in 1688. "Wm. Talbott & Katherine his Wife" were ordered to appear at court to give testimony.

When William Talbot died in 1713, Catherine testified William had died without making a will. She was named Administrator. She was left land in safekeeping for their sons, Samuel and Benjamin.

Catherine remarried after William Talbot's death to John Mewes/Muse. She was, at least, his second wife, as he had children. Catherine and John Mewes had no children together.

Upon Catherine's death, William Talbot's land passed to their sons, Samuel and Benjamin.

acording to Virginia Genealogies, William Talbot and John Muse married Catherine LEWIS-MOSS-TALBOT * 16 NOV 1698.

however, this couple had a d/o Catherine who I believe married their daughter. notice the date it was issue and then recorded ( the original needs to be re-read, probably should read 1671 instead of 1661)
